This is the Annual conference of the National Justice & Peace Network.
Full details are still to be made available. However, Dr Rowan Williams has already been booked and several workshops are known to be going ahead with several others still under discussion.
Never a cheap weekend! – but usually interesting and a unique annual opportunity to meet J&P supporters from across the country.
